That's crazy ironic, I was having an off day the other day as well and vimeo'd Lyman videos to feel better hahaha. Lyman charges so hard, much respect to him for serving our country, but my selfishness wants him back on a wakeboard haha.

I super surprised they let him ride. When I was in the army we had mandatory safety briefs every time we were off work for 24 hours and had to have briefings on how to barbeque and swim in pools safely. I he is SF as so many have said thats a huge investment for him to take the not so unlikely chance of getting injured wakeboarding. Not saying I dont think that he should be able to ride but the army is a huge big brother control freak bureaucrat show. One of my friends in the army had an article 15 (which is the army form or pressing charges) against him for getting a sunburn which they cited as "damaging government property". He received the sunburn while working also... Hope Lyman experiences better leadership than I did

Haha, wow. I doubt his command is that ludicrous. Most logical commands would issue an article 15 like that. Your friend was probably breifed to wear sunscreen and chose not to.

When I was in, wakeboarding was not considered a high risk activity. I doubt they have any limitations on it.

I didn't know he joined the military. That's awesome and the kind of athlete kids should look up to. Anyone selfless enough to drop a career as a professional athlete to go serve their country deserves all the credit they receive and then some.
I was always a Lyman fan, but this certainly tops him as my personal favorite. I might order his board or bindings today just because of this.
